With a 5 way, unraised pre-flop, pot... your instinct was to go broke with only 1 pair and no kicker?
Not only are there 6 A-x combinations that are crushing you, there's a possible straight and another 2 pair with 3-4. Almost any A-xh is hurting you bad (although he had the Ah here... it wasn't Axh). 5-6h would also suck for you to play all-in because you're behind to it... even against 6-7h (which is a gutshot straight flush draw) you're not too happy although you're ahead there.
And don't forget the possible sets: 3-3, 4-4, and A-A.
If you bet and someone shoves all-in, it should be an instafold with your hand and that board.
Edit calling in that spot has to be -EV. On top of that, even if you call here... you're drawing to a split pot... which stinks for you and probably isn't worth it from an EV perspective (although I haven't run the specific numbers here)... especially with the backdoor flush redraw the other A9 has.
